Frame labels are useful for identifying keyframes in the Timeline and should be used instead of frame numbers when targeting frames in actions such as Go To and If Frame Is Loaded. If you add or remove frames, the label moves with the frame it was originally attached to, whereas frame numbers can change.
Frame labels are exported with movie data, so avoid long names to minimize file size. Frames labeled with a pound sign are indicators of animated GIF and PNG formats. For more information, see GIF publish settings, and PNG publish settings.
Comments are useful for notes to yourself and others working on the same movie. You cannot use them in actions. Comments are not exported with movie data, so you can make them as long as you want.
To create a frame label or comment:
| 1 | Double-click a frame, or select a frame and choose Modify > Frame. |
| 2 | In the Frame Properties dialog box, click the Label tab. |
| 3 | For behavior, choose Label or Comment. |
| 4 | Enter text in the Name box. |
